Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Lake George, NY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lake George provides medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
